CTS springs on 92 se
 

I have heard and seen speculation of CTS springs to fit some of our cars, I know my year is not in this, so as the alway try it kinda guy I have some on way to me getting installed thurs. I work at a dealer ship and have chat with the tech on this, they are kinda excited to see this, I have measure cts factory and mine,Looks close........... :D Also installing new shocks/struts in process PSS These are lowering springs Eibac or how ever you spell it.

What are springs going to do for you on an L27?

You have a cam? Higher ratio rockers? If not, don't waste your breath.

What's the spring rate? Open load? Closed load? Bind height? I could care less what they're FROM. It's a spring.

1. What's it going to do for you?
2. What are the SPRING specs?

I've been through this. I don't have stock springs. But it took me a long time to get to that point.

Um, suspension, Bill. :lol:

Thanks for the clarification.

My questions stand even with that.

Rats GMPD s still down...

federal-mogul site does not have the CTS on there...

Advance auto only has a Lowering kit for them

I am a fan of a lower setting car, I am doing for two reasons,
1) I need new shocks/struts 171000 on orginals pretty sure :shock:
2) I am a fan of lowering cars a bit, and my wheels fit very nice, but need a 1 in gap to be closed more.. No gains to me other then better ride for the new shocks/struts..

What is the individual coil diameter, 'free' length, and compressed length of the springs? What is their load rating and overall diameter?

I do not remember per say, the lower car 1.4 in had rating in KG, I will see if I can get info from my vendor.

Just incase you didn't know Coil Spring Specialties can make custom springs for you.
It's about $150/pair for a 2" drop uncoated but I would definitely suggest getting them coated.
Paulnold and I went through them.

If the CTS route dosen't work out you can always go that route.

I have checked them and was thinking of using them also but at same time wonder about these cts one also if not work out I wiould get some but not 2in, 1 is good for me

I have the spring now, get some pics of them and install, specs and all wed when installed, they off a 02 CTS, so updated

I think you're missing the point. If they're off a Mack Truck, we still wouldn't know jack about them.

And I wouldn't put them on my car until I did. Honda Prelude springs might be better for your setup than those. Every spring package is calculated for the chassis it's going into. And for different reasons.

This is a mer experiment and I have seen some of other kinda of things like this wed is when me and the techs helping me from my work are helping me.So not going on per say but The GM tech and my work know what is going on and are not sure will fit or not, we are just going brain storm, so point is trial fit and see....... I love this site for information but people can also do some good old trail and error. and like it that way,

On a 2000+ maybe but I can't see them fitting on a re 00 and I would recommend sts springs Not CTS. But I still can not see STS springs fitting on a pre 00

Completely different chasiss on your car than those springs are designed for. You need a firm grasp of suspension design before you just swap parts from random cars. 00+ guys were looking at STS stuff for their setup IIRC< but you grabbed CTS stuff for a 92-99? They weren't even designed on the same continent... :roll: Hell that's a Lighter. RWD car with an aluminum engine, spring rates, an f/r balance will be NOTHING like your 3500lb FWD Iron V6 car...

GM techs don't do anything like this either. I'd try to return them before you use them and can't.

The springs :oops: are not even freaking close....... :oops: I should have listen, I have a buyer for them not moeny lost except shipping, $15.99.......But I am happy to know

good old trial and error :)

do they do custom completely as far as spring rate and all that[/quote]

[/quote]

Yes.

and they will make it for my car? lol too manyt questions huh

Yes 8)

yay!!! :lol: i know what my first aftermarket part is going to be
